Spammer
Looks like this guy "dresteDex" is spamming the hell out of this site. Joined less than an hour ago and has over 40 posts with suspicious links.
Re: Spammer
Thats what happens when Mike and the crew blink. With a site this size there are probably several hundred atempts daily by wierdos from all over the world trying to spam. They do a pretty good job, should be all mopped up by the mods in a few minutes

Re: Spammer
Ya, well Big D banned a few last night, as he's done the last couple weeks. I've banned a few also. Big D deleted 47 posts last night alone. I banned 1 person today and I just got out of bed and am busy already and Occumbarefera is one of them and a couple/three of his posts. Now on to check all the other posts from overnight.

Re: Spammer

Keep up the awesome work, and know it is greatly appreciated.

Re: Spammer
The mods are doing a great job. I havnt noticed any spamming in the forums. What kind of spam are they posting?
Re: Spammer
I usually get on pretty early in the morning. There has been a TON of spammers. Glad you guys are all over it.

Re: Spammer
When I was running a forum for our club, I was amazed at the number of bs accounts and posts. I had to switch to "By Approval Only" for new members.
They just plug what ever BS they want into a program that usually has a list of IP addresses and let the computer do all the spamming for you.

Aaron had to turn off a feature that is used for signing up. He'll be restarting that feature soon. Along with a couple other bugs that will be fixed. New software ya know.
